The national parks are a great deal - as are the museums. Unlike Europe - most do not charge an admission fee.. or at most it's nominal. A good deal for 'over 62'ers' is a 'golden age passport'. For a 'one time' fee of $10, it grants lifetime admission to all national park facilities for free to citizens and legal residents - along with companions, friends, etc. Now you can't beat that in europe!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8173 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3840
Four locks lift the water level through Georgetown; a "living history" canal boat drawn by two mules carries passengers between spring and autumn through a lock or two for about a mile upstream, then back. A lot of folks just watch the locking operation and walk along the towpath.

It's a wonderful and pastoral contrast to the shopping and nightlife of Georgetown, itself an 18th-century town that was absorbed into Washington DC.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3840 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1268 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1268 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1074 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1074 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/297 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/297 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9037 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9037
